Italy now has an artificial lagoon for surfing, just like Malaysia

Italian surfer Roberto D’Amico shows spectators how it’s done.

The sea isn’t visible even from the roof of Milan’s towering cathedral, but enthusiasts can now ride waves near the Italian city at one of the world’s biggest surf parks.

Wakeparadise is the first such park in Italy and it joins a growing list of artificial lagoons in Australia, Dubai, Malaysia, Spain and the United States.
